Project description

django-councilmatic===========

This is a Django app with core functions for the `Councilmatic family <http://www.councilmatic.org/>`_, a set of web apps for keeping tabs on local city council. It is built upon the open civic data standard, and ultimately makes Councilmatic easier to re-deploy in new cities.

django-councilmatic includes:

- data models for bills, people, organizations, events, and more- a task to load data from the open civic data api- views & templates for bill/person/organization/event pages, search, and more

The `Councilmatic family <http://www.councilmatic.org/>`_ includes:

- Philly Councilmatic (the original & first Councilmatic, by Mjumbe Poe. since it preceded django-councilmatic, it does not use django-councilmatic)- Chicago Councilmatic (launched & built on django-councilmatic)- New York City Councilmatic (launched & built on django-councilmatic)

We are continuing to improve django-councilmatic, & we welcome contributions in the form of `github issues <https://github.com/datamade/django-councilmatic/issues>`_ (bug reports, feature requests, general questions) & code contributions.

How to contribute code:

- Fork the project- Make your feature addition or bug fix- Bonus points for running tests to check python style (:code:`pip install flake8` & then :code:`flake8 .`)- Send a pull request! Don't worry if it isn't perfect - think of a PR as a start of a conversation, rather than a finished product
